^{25 Ref} The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

^{26 Ref} that he might sanctify it, having cleansed `it' with the bathing of the water in the saying,

^{27 Ref} that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

^{28 Ref} so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

^{29 Ref} for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

^{30 Ref} because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

^{31 Ref} `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'

^{25 Ref} Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

^{26 Ref} So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

^{27 Ref} And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

^{28 Ref} Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

^{29 Ref} For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

^{30 Ref} Because we are parts of his body.

^{31 Ref} For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

^{25 Ref} Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

^{26 Ref} that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

^{27 Ref} that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

^{28 Ref} Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

^{29 Ref} For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

^{30 Ref} because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

^{31 Ref} "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
